The Answer's at the End
Be patient and kind toward the ones you love
January 13

Hurt people hurt people, until they choose otherwise. George wrote this gentle track for his Extra Texture album during a difficult year when his health was suffering. The song acknowledges life's confusion and pain while trusting that clarity will come eventually. George had a gift for sitting with uncertainty without demanding immediate resolution.
Understanding arrives in its own time, not ours. We want answers now, explanations immediately, resolution yesterday. George understood that patience itself is a form of faith. Some lessons reveal themselves only in hindsight, some wounds heal slowly, some truths emerge only after we've stopped demanding them.
Remembering our own imperfections softens our judgment. The song carries a plea for compassion, both toward ourselves and others. When we're harsh with people's faults, we forget our own struggles and shortcomings. Kindness heals better than criticism; patience builds strong bonds.
Time offers perspective that the present moment cannot. What feels unbearable today may reveal its purpose years from now. The person whose flaws frustrate you today might be the friend you need tomorrow.
Today, I will extend grace to someone whose faults frustrate me, remembering that I too am imperfect and still learning.
Who have you been judging harshly while forgetting your own need for patience and understanding? How might softening your criticism create space for genuine connection?
